example 1

(1) SPECIFIC EXAMPLE 1

[C=JP, O=XYZ Co., CN=1234 Ryu Inada]

[0036]This example shows that the holder of the certificate is an employee of XYZ Co., the employee number is 1234, and his name is “Ryu Inada”.

example 2

(2) SPECIFIC EXAMPLE 2

[C=JP, O=XYZ Co., OU=Partner, OU=Xnet, OU=ABC Co., CN=1234 001 Taro Fuji]

[0037]This example shows that the holder of the certificate is an employee of ABC Co. which is a cooperating company, and takes part in Project “Xnet”, the operation purpose is procurement (001 of the common name means procurement), the employee number of the company to which he belongs is 1234, and his name is “Taro Fuji”.

example 3

(3) SPECIFIC EXAMPLE 3

[C=JP, O=XYZ Co., OU=Partner, OU=Xnet, CN=1234 Hanako Fuji]

[0038]This example shows that the holder of the certificate is a temporary staff, the temporary staff number is 1234, and her name is “Hanako Fuji”. She is judged to be a temporary staff since there is no cooperating company name or project name.

[0039]Now, getting back to explanation of FIG. 1, the certificate database 103a managed by the database management system 103 holds certificate information, as shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, the subject name is (C, O, OU1, OU2, OU3, CN), and the common name CN is, e.g., CN=12345 001 Taro Yamada. “12345” is a unique identifier, e.g., an employee number, in the cooperating company ABC. “001” is an ID showing the operation type in the managing company (for example, procurement or prototyping). “Taro Yamada” is the applicant's name. The certificate database 103a holds a certificate ID, a subject name (C, O, OU1, OU2, OU3, CN), and an expiration date. A certif...

Abstract

A subject name of a personal certificate is used to easily perform access control. An authentication unit implements an authentication procedure between a client terminal and a web server. The authentication unit receives a certificate from the client terminal for executing the authentication procedure, and its subject name is supplied to an element extracting unit. The element extracting unit follows a hierarchy structure of the subject name to extract a predetermined element. A right determining unit determines an access right for accessing a document based on a type and a value of the element extracted, and allocates this to a session number. A right registering unit registers a relation between the session number and the access right. Thereafter, while the session continues, an access right is allowed based on the session number.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a technique for controlling access using a subject name in a personal certificate (hereinafter, referred to simply as a certificate).[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]ITU-T recommendation X.509 defines directory model authentication. A personal certificate in conformity with the directory model authentication is issued from the certificate issuing authority (the certifying authority). The certificate issuing authority receives, from an applicant, information (name, belonging, public key, and so on) needed to issue a certificate, and issues the certificate in accordance with a predetermined policy, thereby storing the certificate into a predetermined certificate storing unit. The applicant can take out the certificate from the certificate storing unit.[0005]When the subject name included in a personal certificate is only seen, it is unclear what right or properties the holder o...
